It really is a good book. I was particularly appreciative of the essay that details out all the Chinese in all the episodes.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hurrumph. See if I try and save your next show, Whedon.
I'm so breaking up with you.

That's what you get for stepping out with Minear on him.
Also, hee!

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
A friend went to Amazon to buy the DVDs (yeah, me! I had viewing parties at my place, but she and her husband missed the last one, so just had to buy a set for themselves), and the book popped up "others have bought." She decided that I needed to have it. I let her know that she should go with these thoughts whenever they popped up!
You were completely robbed, Allyson. When I saw who was involved, my first thought was, "Oooh, Jane Espenson and Mercedes Lackey!" Had an essay from you been included, it would have been, "Ooooh, Allyson! And Jane Espenson and Mercedes Lackey."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Seems Joss and some of the cast have been confirmed for Wizard World in Philadelphia in June. Maybe I'll go... it's only a couple hours away.

I have a Firefly fan friend who is getting married (to another fan, natch). I'm trying to come up with some lovely quotes for the card, but so far am brain dead. Can anyone out there think of some wedding/happy future together type quotes from any of the episodes? Many thanks!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Something about plowing and becoming one flesh?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, definitely most anything from "Our Mrs. Reynolds."

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like it's raining. How come you got a wife?
Captain, everyone should have a chance to congratulate you on your day of bliss.
We'd always hoped you two kids would get together. Who is she?
But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh?
So you two were kissin'? Well. Isn't that... special?
Hooray for Nilly's review site...

I just hate it when I write a longish post, then accidentally navigate away when looking something up, then lose everything I've written!
Thanks for the suggestions. I can't believe I didn't think of OMR. I think I may have to rewatch this weekend. I don't really know the future husband, and there may be parents present, so I'm shooting for not quite so risque as some of the better quotes.
